New York Magazine‘s pop culture roundup The Approval Matrix is coming to SundanceTV for a six-episode talk show premiering Monday, August 11th at 11PM ET/PT.
Hosted by Neal Brennan (Chappelle’s Show, Inside Amy Schumer), The Approval Matrix will spend a half an hour each week sorting out the pop culture highs and lows with the help of celebrity guests. The series will also feature sketches and field reports as well as one-on-one interviews with writer and producer Amy Poehler (Parks and Recreation), Jon Stewart (The Daily Show with Jon Stewart) and Chris Rock (Eat, Drink, Laugh). Panelists for The Approval Matrix include Jason Biggs (Orange is the New Black), Hannibal Buress (Broad City), Whitney Cummings (Whitney), and Judah Friedlander (30 Rock).
“This lively new series aims for the sweet spot between Chelsea Handler and Bill Maher, Wendy Williams and Charlie Rose, providing hilarious and provocative perspective on popular culture,” said Sarah Barnett, President of SundanceTV in a statement. “‘The Approval Matrix’ curates the keenest and most relevant pop culture issues of our day and delivers it through the irreverent filter of some of comedy’s smartest and funniest personalities.”
